Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andrei East (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenneth Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams has chosen Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
